White House Farm

Excellent TV drama and did the story justice. Don't be fooled by the low scored reviews, as it seems a lot of people do not realise that it's not meant to be an investigative documentary. It is a simply a drama based on the events. Well done to the entire production team and actors involved who approached this story with sensitivity and respect.

Overall a really interesting watch, albeit rather slow paced. I recommend adjusting the playback speed while watching if you need to.

The events at White House Farm were well documented, and notorious, who on Earth would have wanted to kill the five members of the family inside.

I would start by saying that six episodes is a stretch, it should have been done over four, it does lull a little in the middle. However it's dark, gritty and at times compelling drama.

There is a message up at the start saying that it has been dramatised, there are changes, but that's artistic license.

Freddie Fox is very good as Bamber, Mark Addy is the standout as Stan, he makes it. I adore Stephen Graham, but he is woeful in this, his accent is abysmal, at times he sounds ludicrous, why on Earth did they not cast Richard Harrington?

Ignore the ludicrous one star reviews, they obviously didn't bother watching it. 7/10.

Its slow but worth it. Great actors and well produced.

Like another reviewer, I suspect there's some criticism of this drama driven by personal views of the actual case and subsequent conviction. As a stand alone crime drama I think it's very watchable. The acting is really pretty good with the conflict between the Stephen Graham and Mark Addy characters being especially riveting. A mention for Gemma Whelan too...understated but believable. So, make up your own mind....episodes 1 and 2 kept me very engaged. Hope it maintains its standard.

It is brilliant. I knew the full story and was still on the edge of my seat. Do not miss this.
